Collecting trace directories
HP SUM generates a set of debug trace logs located in the %TEMP%\HPSUM directory on Windows
systems. These files contain internal process and debug information which can be useful in
determining HP SUM failures.
The debug trace files are located under %temp%\hp_sum for Windows. The log files are located
under C:\cpqsystem\hp\log. These files provide the following information and are appended
in each HP SUM session.
HP SUM 5.0.0 and later includes a utility named GatherLogs.bat (Windows) or
Gatherlogs.sh (Linux) to create a compressed .zip (Windows) or tar.Z (Linux) file with all the
logs. If you need to review the log files, you can run this utility to gather all the logs in one file.
NOTE: Exit HP SUM before running the GatherLogs utility.
